Syre & Fresko’s Latest “Gonna See Miracles”

cyberpr1syre

Syre & Fresko’s “Gonna See Miracles” has a great native feel to it.  With the steady drum beats that get your body to moving.  The chorus is very catchy and the bridge they us at the beginning of the song and between the chorus and new verse is reminiscent of something from Phillip Phillips or Mumford and Sons.  I would say this particular song feels like pop folk and many of you will enjoy it.  I enjoyed Syre & Fresko and hope to hear more from them.  Give it a listen through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Torsha Lynn’s Debut Single “Supa Baddd”

Torsha Lynn has a very nice voice.  For “Supa Baddd”, her debut single, she gives us a R&B/Hip Hop feel.  Torsha has a great R&B voice, but the beat for the single has the Hip Hop feel.  The higher and lower voice that is sprinkled throughout the song I did not appreciate, but others might like.  I think Torsha’s voice alone could carry the song and didn’t need the extra theatrics.  Love to hear more from her to see what direction she will lean toward as a genre.  Check out “Supa Baddd” through SoundCloud below – Richard:

The Glass Child gives us a moving “Who Am I”

Charlotte Eriksson (The Glass Child) gives a powerful performance with her release of “Who Am I”, from her album, I Must Be Gone and Live, or Stay and Die.  At times her voice gets lost in the chorus, but that kind of fits the song, because we all get lost at times in our lives and wonder “Who Am I” or what is my purpose in life.  You can tell that she puts her emotional experiences in her music, through her voice.  Eager to see what else she might give us in the future.  Check out “Who Am I” through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Jay Soul’s new Single “Any Day

cyberpr1jay soul

The opening to “Any Day” by Jay Soul made me wonder if I was going to like this single.  However, when Jay comes in with the bass beat I was hooked.  I like the upbeat music that makes you want to move you body and “Any Day” does that.  “Any Day” has an electro pop feel to it, but the instruments don’t over power Jay’s lyrics.  It is a nice blend that makes you bob your head.  Take a listen through SoundCloud, if you like the upbeat songs you will probably enjoy this single for Jay Soul – Richard:

“Ghost Crowd” from Broken Quote

cyberPRbroken quote

The immediate feeling I got from Broken Quote was a darker, more sensual sound that reminded me of The Weekend’s “Wicked Games”. I like the flow of the backing track but the vocals were too wispy and blended too much. They need to have some sort of support under them. You need even more support to sing softer and most people make the mistake of not supporting it enough and that’s what’s happening with Broken Quote. I feel like if he just focused a little more on the support 90% of his problems would vanish. He’s got an amazing stage name and great instrumentals; I can see him going far if he cleans up the vocals a bit more.
